It has been fun and i enjoyed your games greatly, but I am going to be an old stick in the mud and stay here. I have an overinflated sense of hope and an abundant supply of patience.

I hear that DeWar, but my loyalty is getting stretched to the breaking point. I really feel bad for the Community Supporters who actually pay for their accounts.

I understand your point, but I tend to be loyal to a fault. It is a somteines troubleing characteristic of mine.
You missed the major database crash several le years ago, though. That was a complete mess. I keep thinking that with all of the issues we are having, we are on track for that again. And this time, there are no "download thread" tools available to make back-ups of everything.

I know of the crash. A buddy of mine whow at the time was my roomate told me all about the big toruble of having like 6 weeks of gaming dissappear. *poof* gone. but he stays with ennworld dispite that. I figure a bit of patience can go a long way.
I'm a person of broad sigh, or that I like to think of myself. So I stay here and go there. I don't feel I'm betraying enworld, although I was a bit lazy about making another account. I always have trouble finding a suitable nickname for new accounts in forums. Nevertheless I found one that fits me greatly.

At least one of the games I am in is moving elsewhere.
During the database crash, I lost somewhere around 1000 posts, and had to restart the two games I had going pretty much from scratch. It sucked. I know they are backing up more often now, but I hate having lost the ability to download threads. That made backing things up way easier! I hope we get that function back at some point.

Agreed. I've been holding off on my stuff until I can actually get messages posted with any sense of regularity. I worry that this will effectively kill most of the games here.

That is one of my concerns as well. Until things improve I have put my games on hold too.

Well it's my problem too. My lack of domain over this language of yours make my games a lot less descriptive. So I have fairly low motivated players, although most of them check the thread from time to time, I don't know if they lost interest or just can't access. I consider my two games wounded, but I'll keep up, never surrender.

It is my understanding that Morrus had to hire/contract someone to come in and fix the site, as he couldn't figure out what was going on. My fingers are crossed that it is a permanent solution.

Yes, this would definitely be a nice option to get back. The old EN World had it. It disappeared when they "upgraded."

Well it's a good thing it's back up again. Hope that with the server upgrades (that I hope they made) and an IT expert fixing things up the site can keep going. I know I was beginning to think it was time to follow our crazy monkey to greener pastures.

Well, the Monkey's pasture is still there should you care to stop by and visit.
I might just do that, Monkey!
